Who Can Benefit From Brachioplasty?

Occasionally, a person is born with an unusual amount of loose skin on their upper arms; however, most of my patients who undergo an Arm Lift have lost a significant amount of weight and are unhappy with the residual bulk and laxity of their upper arm skin.

With weight gain, the skin expands to cover the increased surface area. This happens every place on the body that stores fat. The arms, abdomen, breasts, thighs, face and back are frequently left lax after weight loss. As a result, Plastic Surgeons like myself who specialize in Post-Bariatric Plastic Surgery lift and tuck all these areas, including the arms.

The tailoring of excess skin is an important component of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, and can dramatically improve appearance. If you have lost a large amount of weight, removing the excess skin can help complete your transformation.

I see many patients who have successfully lost weight, but who are left with loose, often sagging skin. Post Bariatric Plastic Surgery addresses the skin laxity associated with massive weight loss. It can improve physical appearance and in many cases physical discomfort and hygiene also.

What Areas Need Tightening After Weight Loss?

Everyone gains weight in different areas, so Post Bariatric Plastic Surgery is tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Common areas requiring lifting are the tummy, breasts and arms; however, thigh, face, back and buttocks lifts are also common. Examples of all these procedures are available on my main website: DrMele.com, and more information is available in today's blog post.

Thigh Lifts are a post-bariatric cosmetic plastic surgery procedure which are designed to tighten and smooth the thigh skin. They are most commonly performed after weight loss to remove excess skin and improve the contour of the thighs. Today’s Thighplasty Video Presentation discusses the two most common approaches to the Thigh Lift, vertical and horizontal, and illustrates the results with before and after photos.

Thigh Lifts (Thighplasty) includes cosmetic surgical procedures designed to improve the shape of the thighs. In this video segment from the latest episode of KRON 4’s Body Beautiful, we review what Thighplasty accomplishes. Host Janelle Marie and I reveal who is a good candidate for the Thigh Lift and illustrate how the procedure is performed with numerous Thighplasty Before and After Pictures.
